sure you do.
but by defending i mean like confuse ray, safegaurd, mist, haze, roar, psyc up, etc.
those moves either a) protect you from status changes b) stops the other pokemon from gaining any from using curse/belly drum/agility/etc. c) help ur own stats so u do more damage d) annoy the opponent so they're more likely to make a mistake
take dunsparce for example. most ppl would say it sucks cuz it has cr*ppy stats. so it cant deal punishing blows. o well; its can still be a crucial part of a team. glare paralyzes, mud slap reduces accuracy, swagger confuses, and double team increases your evasion. if you care to find out the data, the opponent should only have a 20-30% chance of pulling off a move and a 10-20% chance of hitting you. go figure. then u can switch to a sweeper, an attacker, or a heavy hitter and completely screw over the opponent.
I see what you mean, but your stradegy's could need some work too
ie: with your dunsprance stradegy your better of tacking of glare and mud-slap and putting on baton pass and defence-curl, before you bring it in, put you'r opponent's pokemon to sleep to prevent your's getting knocked out streight away, and when you switch, use baton-pass (all stat's that your dunsprance had will chaing over to the new pokemon) to chainge to a ghost pokemon that knows confuseray, screetch, amnisia and thunderwave, that way you'll have a Ghost pokemon's stats maxed out and almost invincible
the reason you sould reduce the opponent's phisicle defence when there confused is because the damage they do to them selves is there phisicle attack minus there phisicle defence, so whene there defence is lowerd or there attack has been raised, they hurt themselves more
as for why I didden't have that many defencive moves is because my stats are stupidly high, so i knock out my opponent with one attack
my mewtwo's special attack is 402
my phisical attackers attack are around 350
also they get a 50% attack increace because there attack's are the same as there typ, hence why I gave my dragon ite wing attack (attack power go's from 60 to 90) and out rage (attack go's from 80 to 120)
This is my desired team:
Blastoise
Pidgeot
Mr. Mime
Primape
Jolteon
Nidoking
Any suggestions?
nice, but i dont like pidgeot. aesthetic preference i guess.
movelists should be up by at least thursday night, if i dont get too much homework, along with generall strategies off course.

I was thinking about changing Pidgeot for Moltress maybe, or Xatu.
